What is the Guro-gu
Dementia Support Center?

Along with the aging population phenomenon, dementia has gone beyond a mere family issue and is leading to serious social issues as well. The Guro Public Health Center has thus established a systematic and continuous integrated dementia management system, which includes dementia prevention, early examination for dementia, dementia treatment, and rehabilitation assistance, and operates the Guro-gu Dementia Support Center to help reduce medical costs for seniors, lessen the burden for families, and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life for those in their later years.
